House Sitting in Mission Hills

“Manvir watched our dog and cat for the weekend. She followed my directions - walking the dog, cleaning off paws and giving medication. She sent me cozy pictures. I appreciate her affection and care for animals”

About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and work at an animal care hospital, where I care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities every day. Because of my hands-on experience in a veterinary setting, I’m confident recognizing signs of stress or illness and providing attentive, safe care. I have dogs of my own and have dogsat before, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and those with special routines. I’m energetic, friendly, and love long walks and active playtime — but I’m also happy to stick to your dog’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable. I’m flexible and can work around both your schedule and your pet’s needs. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own — with patience, structure, and lots of love. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I work full-time at an animal care hospital during the week, but I’m available for evening visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 5pm. I have full availability on weekends and can be flexible to match your dog’s schedule. Just message me and we can figure out what works best! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. During drop-ins or walks, I make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment based on their energy level and personality. I always refresh water, clean up any messes, and ensure your home is left exactly how I found it. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for family and friends since I was 12. I have also volunteered at the animal shelter for 2 years, learning how to deal with all types of animals. Throughout this experience I have learned how to handle the different personalities of pets. I am currently not working so I will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your animals! I am flexible to any time you need. I am prepared to crate a dog if needed. I am also ready to put on a harness or any type of transportation technology if needed.

About: When I moved from Texas to California back in 2013, I have owned, cared for, fostered and rescued pets for the past 7 years. I strive to own my own affordable doggy daycare/boarding/training facility within the great community of Lompoc so all community members can afford and feel at ease if they needed someone to watch and care for their furbabies. I have a current goal of being Vet Tech certified and attending the AHC Vet Tech program. I have past experience working at board/train facilities, vet clinics, and working with rescues. I treat all animals/pets as if they were my own, because that is I have open availability and a flexible schedule since I am becoming self-employed to have more focus on school and business planning for the future. I have a fenced and secured yard with ample of space to zoomie all around and play in. My house is also in a safe, quiet neighborhood where there isn't high traffic or a lot of outside noises to worry about. I always provide water throughout day and have it readily available. When it is cold, animals stay inside with me because I believe if I am cold then the animals are too. As for caring in clients' homes, it all depends on the home and the specific care that is needed. I will be sure that working in clients' homes that animals are always secured from getting loose when entering and leaving the premises. On walks, I make sure all leads, leashes, etc. are secured and fastened properly before heading outside on walks. I also will follow any strict feeding schedules and diets, since I already have experience with my pets.

“She took great care of my pets and my home, she was friendly and attentive, and went above and beyond her duties❤️ We would use her again in a heartbeat!”

“I was so happy when I got home from a long day away and found that my babies were so lovingly cared for by Laurie and Reese. Think Teddy found a great playmate with Reese, that when Laurie and Reese left he started barking at the door. My dog never barks, so I think a hi-five and honors go to this happy pair. Thanks again so much.👍”

“Dayna took such good care of our pets! They enjoyed her constant attention and snuggles. It's so nice to have someone reliable to take care of them when we're gone for a few days. It let's me enjoy breaks that much more. We will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I have been raised with dogs my whole life. As soon as I could do chores, I was helping take care of the family dogs. I have also cared for neighbors' dogs who had special dietary needs and medication schedules. I also have a little bit of experience taking care of cats from my previous work as an in-home caregiver. I currently don’t have any other commitments work-wise, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I also rarely take holidays off, so I’d be available for any time of the year on any day! I would love to get to know more about your pets on my first visit! It’s very important to me that the pet has the routines you would like implemented, and if there are any medications to be aware of.

“Excellent! The pups loved her and I felt very comfortable leaving them. Will definitely use her again!”

“Linda was willing to come stay with our animals with short notice. Our dog is senior and requires a patient and attentive care giver as well as someone that will be at the house a lot. Linda was wonderful and made sure that he had what was needed. Our fickle cat also really enjoyed having Linda stay. Both were given constant attention. I highly recommend Linda and we will have her come again.”

About: I have decidedly taken the entire summer off from a corporate job to recalibrate myself. With that being said, my time has opened up to provide the sweetest care for your pets. I have my own two dogs that I've loved and raised for the last 13 years. I have been with them through their puppy training, medical needs as they've gotten older, and become versed with the emotional labor that comes with owning aging pets. I am also an amateur photographer so you will absolutely be receiving a great number of photos of your pets while under my care. I have decidedly taken the entire summer off from corporate work, so I have the availability to provide pet support with the fullest of care and attention.

About: I have many year of pet caring under my belt! I have two dogs of my own, one of which with special needs. I have been left in charge of my pets before and have shown that I am trusted to handle everything. I have experienced training both of my dogs, and have been in charge of administering insulin of my special needs dog. I have dog sat for my friends and neighbors in the past, and they have been very happy with results. I will treat every animal and house with respect, like they are my own. Thank you for consideration in keeping your beloved animals safe!! I am a college student that is home for the summer working and internship! My schedule is somewhat flexible but on my work days they run pretty long. Dog walking in the morning or early afternoon is something that would work with my schedule. Any house sitting needs work during the week, and can be a little different on the weekend but it can still work! I will respect every home that I am invited to for dog sitting needs. I will be cautious of entering the home making sure all animals are secure and we have no escapees! I only offer out of home sitting, meaning no animal will be taken out of their own house for sitting. If your animal needs to be crated or other special accommodations please do let me know and I will make it happen!

About: I have watched over pets basically my whole life. Growing up I have had an array of different pets. Dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, ducks, bunnies, snakes, goats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and birds. I love animals so much and love spending time and playing with them. I am also a very active person so I love taking dogs out on walks and to the park to play. I am a full time student athlete. Weekends are what work best for me or even the evenings on most weekdays also work very well. I have a good sized yard. I love going out on walks, I will always be up to play and give belly rubs. I have roommates who also love animals.

“Dyanna was great and my dog had a great time with her while I was out of town. She sent updates, followed the instructions we left, and we came home to a tidy house. We will definitely be using her in the future.”

“Checked on Tyson throughout the day as requested! Recommended!”

About: I have grown up with pets of all sizes and temperaments my entire life. From dogs to horses to livestock, I am very calm around new animals, even if they may be a bit anxious with new people, pets, and places. I do have my own rescue pup, Río, who loves to get outside for adventures, loves other animals, and loves to be by my side whenever possible. Whether you are in need of pet sitting, exercising, a dog daycation, and/or housesitting with your beloved pet(s), my first choice is always to have Río come along so long as that is something with which you and your pet(s) will be comfortable and enjoy. I grew up on the Central Coast and love to be outdoors and adventuring whether through hikes, long walks, eating out on pet dates at the amazing restaurants nearby, trips to the off leash beaches, or more. If that’s not your pet(s)’ speed and/or favorite things, I am also very into cozying up with them on the sofa or whatever activities may be their favorites as well. If you are in need of care for your horses or livestock, whether while looking for a house sitter or other times, I have a lifetime of experience with horses and am very able to feed, muck, hotwalk, etc. while house sitting or on a drop-in basis. I have not been riding much since returning back to the Central Coast from SF but pending the temperament and experience level necessary, after learning to ride horses much around the same time I was learning to walk, I am always open for an easy ride if needed for your horse(s) as well. Just message me and we can discuss further! Río and I always make sure to take time to get outside to exercise, take potty breaks on grass, and explore daily with an hour-2.5+ hours hike in the mornings and an hour long walk/run after work. Río and I are ideally a package deal so any dog(s), cat(s), and/or whatever pet(s) you are in need of caring for and giving some love to, please advise if they are dog-friendly and enjoy a workout but also love a good lounge throughout the day. For potty breaks and a bit of engagement during the work day, I have a privately fenced yard to pop outside for some sunshine and ball play any time throughout the day and night.

About: With 10 years of experience in pet sitting and pet walking in Ukraine and the USA, I bring a deep love for animals to every service:). Having worked in pet adoption and cared for many pets in my own home, I’ll treat your furry friend like family! Pet care is not just a job for me; it’s a passion. I’ve made it my goal to provide the best care possible for every pet, helping pet owners feel confident and at ease. I truly enjoy making a positive impact on the lives of both pets and their families. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for pets. At my home, they enjoy a pet-friendly space with plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I ensure a consistent routine, offering meals, walks, and attention as needed. If I care for your pet in your home, I maintain their daily routine, keeping their environment familiar and stress-free while providing updates and photos. Above all, I treat every pet with the love and respect they deserve, ensuring they feel happy, secure, and well cared for.

“Shaundra did a fantastic job with our 2 dogs! She was communicative and made us and our pups feel comfortable. She also took great care of our home, it looked even better than we left it when we got home!”
